Web applications NEED to provide the functionality to allow file uploads. Let us see how we can receive files from the clients and store them on our server.

We have already used the koa-body middleware for parsing requests. This middleware is also used for handling file uploads. Let us create a form that allows us to upload files and then save these files using koa. First create a template called file_upload.pug with the following contents:

html
head
title File uploads
body
form(ACTION="/upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data")
div
input(type="TEXT" name="name" placeholder="Name")
div
input(type="file" name="image")
div
input(type="submit")
